Troubleshooting Slurm Jobs

If you want to report a problem or request for help when running jobs, please always provide the following information:

  1. Provide your batch script or, alternatively, the path to your batch script.

  2. Add always the following commands to your batch script

    echo "User information:"; who am i
    echo "Running hostname:"; hostname
    echo "Current location:"; pwd
    echo "User environment:"; env
    echo "List of PModules:"; module list
    
  3. Whenever possible, provide the Slurm JobID.

Providing this information is extremely important in order to ease debugging, otherwise only with the description of the issue or just the error message is completely insufficient in most cases.

Troubleshooting SSH

Use the ssh command with the "-vvv" option and copy and paste (no screenshots please) the output to your request in Service-Now. Example

ssh -Y -vvv $username@merlin-l-01.psi.ch
